Saag Recipe (Video)
Ingredients
  • Mustard leaves - available from Indian food shops
  • Spinach - any spinach will do for this recipe
  • Fenugreek leaves - available from Indian food shops
  • Onion - regular brown onions or red onions are both fine
  • Ginger - we will add ginger at two stages in the recipe
  • Garlic - saag without garlic is like the Tin Man without a heart
  • Green chillies - as many or as few as you like
  • Fine cornmeal - cornmeal helps to thicken the saag
  • Salt - be careful with added salt if your butter is already salted
  • Baking soda - this helps to cook the greens quickly
  • Butter - I use salted butter
  • Black cardamom - adds a delicious, smoky depth to the Saag
  • Black stone flower - my special touch. I love the fragrance of this ingredient. Learn more about black stone flower in this post.
  • Kashmiri red chilli - dried red chilli with a mild heat (optional)
  • Tomato - ensure it’s very finely chopped
  • Turmeric - ground turmeric is available in all supermarkets
  • Garam masala - either homemade or shop bough. Get my recipe for garam masala here.
